For whoever reads this....
Praise the Lord for his goodness and actions this day! His hand was on the rugby game today, preventing any major injuries (I think one guy on our side had his nose smashed up pretty good, but nothing major on either side.), and incidentally, God has given us victory! He made our legs strong and swift, and our minds quick.
We played Geneva again today, at home. It followed the ladies game (which they also won, something to nothing). We actually had a pretty big cheering section today as well - another praise! It is nice to be able to win and have friends watching. Well, they were much better than they were at the Scottish festival. They had a bunch of better and bigger players than last time (when we beat them 45 to nothing), and were out for blood to get us back for the last game.
Well, they kicked to us, our outside wing (a back at the far left of the field) caught it from behind the half-line, and ran it all the way for a try. About 30 seconds into the game, we had a try.
About 2 minutes after that, we had another.
The grand total was 75 to nothing. On our big field (Geneva has a tiny field) we had an enormous advantage, because we run so much for conditioning. So, one of our backs, or at times, even a slower forward, would get the ball and run all the way down the field for a try. One of our backs scored 5 tries, all by outrunning anyone chasing him.
Just because we crushed them points-wise, does not mean that we are a really good team or Geneva is a really bad team. God was with us - that is the primary explanation. Also, we have been working really hard over the past two weeks, and have gotten better as well.
I didn't get to score any tries, but I played the whole game, and was told that I was playing well and agressively. Praise the Lord for his protection and his blessings!!
